1) I'm an old fart. I'd look like the other old farts who went on strike.
2) I'd probably be a bumbling idiot on screen, but you still need comic relief, right?
3) Nobody has told me I was handsome in a LONG time -- but my grandkids love me!
4) I can think of more than three reasons... :-O

Bring it on, brother!
On a sad note, I'm personally affected by this disease that's taking over the world. As a school teacher of 23 years, I shrugged from public education after being told I'm not a "team player" and not agreeing to follow the plans of inexperienced and ineffectual teachers. Why? "Because if all of the teachers are teaching the same, children and parents know what to expect." You've GOT to be kidding! No, I can listen to anyone ideas, but I think for myself and it has become increasingly hard to THINK in education. For the past several years I've posted her quotes in my classroom and keep a copy on my desk. (I love her quote about the look on a child's face!) So, now I'm faced with applying for private schools in the hopes of being able to teach my students to think and reason instead of regurgitate and follow commands.
Rand stands for reason, logic, power to the people, and gee...the way the world SHOULD work. I'm pretty vocal about my views, I was in the fan video for AS1 and didn't make the AS2 video because the 2nd time I went to see the movie in the theater, the poster was down. :-(
Reading AS was an epiphany that has changed my life forever.
The principles of strong work ethic, integrity and never taking more than you have earned have been the cornerstones of our lives.
It is also my niece's favorite book, and she once got a job promotion because the owner of the company she worked for saw a bumper sticker that said "Who is John Galt?" in the parking lot. He walked around the office in search of the person who owned that car. After speaking with her about the book, he gave her a promotion that same day.
I read Atlas Shrugged again in my 20s, 30s and now reading it again in my 50s. (Missed my 40s somehow).
Each time I've read Atlas Shrugged, the parallels to the real world have become more frightening and infuriating. I'm not a big world-changing industrialist, but I try to do my small part in the world to live honorably as do those heroes of mine.
